QuestionsandAnswers

Why wasn’tmy roastfully

cookedeventhoughthe temperatureon the displaywascorrectand Auto Roastwascompleted.

A. The temperature probe must be

properly inserted when you Auto Roast. Check your Cookbook to see

what you might havedone wrong.

Q. Do sometypesof trivetswork

betterthanothers?

A. Yes.Flat glass trivets generally

provide more browning to the bottom of meatsthan plastic trivets.

Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed

roasting dishes usually work well.

Plastic trivets may require meat to be turned over more often than glasstrivets do because the grid design and legs let the bottom of

the meat stay cooler than glass trivets do.

Q. When I’mcookingwithAuto

Roast,why doesn’tmy roastcontinueto cook duringthe holding time?

A. When your food reachesfinished

temperature, the oven automatically switches to a lower heatlevel.The eventemperature that’s maintained in the food during this holding period keepsit warm without overcooking.

require additional ingredients,

attention or change of power level during microwaving should be cooked in the usual manner. Also, recipes with cooking time of less

than one minute or morethan 99

minutes can not use Codes.

Tounderstand the QUICK SET

Code control, it is important to know what the numbers mean and what the sequence is. The first and second numbers, if setting a 3 digit Code, indicate the amount of time

you desire;the last control entry

number is alwaysthe Power Level. For example, 125means 12minutes at Power Level5. NOTE: Your oven

can only be programmed to 99 min-

utes when using the QUICK SET control and the highest Power Level is 10which is representedby “O”. When setting a 2 digit QUICK SET control entry,the first istime, the second ispower level.For example, 50 means5 minutes at Power Level10.

On the following page is shown many frequently preparedfoods and

their codes. It’s easy,though, to make Codesfor many other recipes. Just select one or two digits representing the length of cooking time desired, and a final digit for the Power.Levelrequired. The Codes

given on the chart arefor the min-

imum time needed,to avoidover-

cooking which can dry out food and

make it tastelessand tough. If you feel that morecooking is needed,

add additional time by changing the first digit of the Code.You cannot add seconds to the cycle time— Codes arefor whole minutes only. If your recipe callsfor Power Level changes or different amounts of time neededbetweenaddition of ingredients, you mayset one Code for the first part of the recipe, then after completion, set another Code

for that period of time and Power

Level. Rememberthat QUICK SET Codes

arefor microwaving by time only. If you are microwaving by temperature, you must usethe Temp Cook or Auto Roastfunction.

When the oven completes QUICK SET program, it automatically shuts off. It will then display “End” and

beeponce a minute until you either

open the door or touch the CLEAR/ OFF pad.

C)uestionsand Answers

(1.

Whatwill happenif I accidentally

reversemydefrost,holdand cook

instructions?

A. The oven automatically rear-

ranges your program. Defrosting always comes first, then hold, and

then the cooking function. Q. Can ! defrostandhold only? A. Yes.Sometimes you may only

want to defrost a food, hold it, and

cook it later.All you needto do is program in Defrost and amount of

time. Then program Hold and the

amount of time. Be sureto put the

thawed dish in the refrigerator

promptly. NOTE: Let foods remain at room

temperature on!y aslong assafe. Times will vary.

Q. I programmedmyovenfor a

specificdefrostingtimebut it defrostedlongerthan necessary. Whathappened?

A. When instructions conflict, the

oven carries out the last instruction. You may haveset the oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold for 2 minutes, and then defrost for 6 minutes. In this case,the oven would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for 2 minutes and ignore your

first defrost instruction.

L&of ExtensionCords

Becauseof potential safety hazards under certain conditions westrongly recommend against the use of an

extension cord. However, if it is

necessaryto use an extension cord, useonly a3-wire extension cord

that hasa 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall beequal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance (15amperes.)

Such extensior] cords areobtainable

through Hotpoint service. If you do

usean extensioncordwith your microwaveoven,the interior light

may flicker and the blower sound may vary when oven is in use.

—

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.Should this happen,

DO NOT USEthe appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
